> Better Behavior in Object-Oriented Programming
> ====================================
> I used to have no interest in software security, and even to disdain 
> it as a pedantic and non-creative area.  I have recently reversed this 
> position, and I would like to share my new-found enthusiasm for 
> security in OOP.  My feeling is that a tasteful combination of good 
> formal techniques and a Squeak-like kernel could bring simplicity and 
> flexibility to robust system design, and many desirable properties to 
> Squeak and malleable systems like it.  Using this single thread (and I 
> am trying to think of a better word than "security"), I hope to tie 
> together issues of type specification, mutability, change management, 
> multiprocessing and distributed computing.

> Dan Ingalls has been the principal architect of five generations of 
> Smalltalk environments. He designed the byte-coded virtual machine 
> that made Smalltalk practical in 1976. He also invented BitBlt, the 
> general-purpose graphical operation that underlies most bitmap 
> graphics systems today, as well as pop-up menus. He has received the 
> ACM Grace Hopper Award for Outstanding Young Scientist, and the ACM 
> Software Systems Award.
>
> Dan's major contributions to the Squeak system include the original 
> conception of a Smalltalk written in itself and made portable and 
> efficient by a Smalltalk-to-C translator. He also designed the 
> generalizations of BitBlt to arbitrary color depth, with built-in 
> scaling, rotation, and anti-aliasing. Dan leads the external Squeak 
> community through active participation in e-mail discussions, and 
> attention to regular releases and reasonable support.
>
> Dan Received his B.A. in Physics from Harvard University, and his M.S. 
> in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. While working 
> toward a PhD at Stanford, he started a company to sell a software 
> measurement invention that he perfected. As the challenges and rewards 
> of industry have continued to hold his interest, he never returned to 
> academia.
